The game hits store shelves on May 23 — here’s a list of pre-order incentives I found; feel free to post comments below the article if you know of any others (or if these deals are changed). [More »] My apologies to anyone who has emailed me lately at pnaw10@pnaw10.com — for some reason, I thought the site traffic was just really slow and nobody was writing, but I realized my email program wasn’t checking that particular mailbox! For example, tons of comments on my review of “Family Feud 2010″ for the Wii… they’ve been coming in since December, but I just discovered them all today. Looks like everyone else hates this crappy excuse for a game just as much as I did! In any case… I’ll make a point of checking email more often, so feel free to write about anything you see on the site, suggestions, comments, etc.
Right now, the DS version is on loan to a friend out of town, so I’ve barely played it enough to fairly review it at this time. But I have the Wii version here. Overall, a very good reproduction of the game, but, just like with any other computer version of TPIR, there are some minor imperfections. [More »]
Just last Friday, someone discovered a “Debug Menu” in the Super Nintendo version of SimCity… a game released in 1991 by two companies that are known for being pretty generous with giving out cheat codes. Corey Miller, the guy who found the new cheats, sent me an e-mail… I tested it out, and sure enough, it works! I’ve added a new section to my SimCity SNES guide as a result… click on “Section 4.1″ from the Table of Contents.

Taking advantage of Target’s current “
I’ve been a game show fan since I was a kid, so when Target recently offered “buy two get one free” on Wii games, I jumped on a trio of game show remakes. After all, if you can’t get to Television City to be there in person, a good computer simulation can be the next best thing. One of the games I bought was “Family Feud: 2010 Edition,” produced by Ubisoft/Ludia, the same companies that made the other two game show remakes I bought. It’s not the best video game version of “The Feud” I’ve ever seen, but it’s not the worst, either. 
I normally don’t post things that basically amount to a free advertisement, but this deal is too good to pass up. Now through November 7th at Target, most Wii games are part of a “buy 2 get one free” promotion. In 20+ years of playing video games, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a deal like that. 
This review is a bit late… I received The Price is Right for Wii and DS for Christmas. It’s rare that I get the same game for two different systems, but I figured the Wii version would be best for “normal” play, and the DS version would come in handy for road trips.
If Guiness ever had a world record for “Longest Time a Video Game Cheat Code Remained a Secret” this would probably win it. 
For folks like me, the idea of a new “classic” Mega Man game is an eyebrow-raiser. I think any kid who grew up in the 80s played one of the Mega Man games on the NES at one point or another, whether you actually owned the game(s), borrowed them from friends or rented them at stores. So how does “the Blue Bomber” perform in this latest installment? It’s a mix of pros and cons for this game… which has a great concept, but quickly becomes frustratingly challenging.
